Sentry Hill railway station was a rural railway station on the modern day Waitara Branch railway. It also served as the junction between the New Plymouth - Waitara railway and the main line south until the junction was relocated to Lepperton in 1908.
The station is no longer open but the station site still sees trains from the Waitara Railway Preservation Society passing through.
